THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

1. Under NSC Directive 10/2, dated 18 June 1948, CIA is authorized and
directed to engage in covert Psychological Warfare. This authority is con-

against hostile foreign saes which are so planned and executed that any
US Government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized per-
sons and that if uncovered the US Government can plausibly disclaim any
responsibility for them. Specifically, such operations include any covert
activities related to: propaganda; economic warfare; sabotage and anti-

c. The consultants provided for CIA under the provisions of NSC

consultants, all outstanding men, are
representing the
